kicking addictions and preventing hangover with N-Acetylcysteine

[Deleted member 5293]

Personal story:
I was a chronic MJ user for well over a year and started developing cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. I was trying to cure it with a bunch of different supplement, NAC was one of them. The very next day after I started taking it I noticed the craving disappeared. I smoked anyways out of habit, and the experience was very different. I looked up the supplement to and found a many studies about NAC with connection to mental disorders and addictions. To this day I am free of MJ use.

NAC was well tolerated and associated with significant decreases in self-report measures of marijuana use and craving

Noting that NAC has shown evidence, in vitro and in animals, of efficacy for treating a variety of drug use disorders,

Findings from animal studies indicate that NAC may:

• reduce alcohol-seeking
• reduce withdrawal symptoms
• reduce the teratogenic effects of alcohol
• prevent alcohol toxicity
• reduce health-related consequences of alcohol (eg, myocardial oxidative stress and alcohol-related steatohepatitis).

Tell more, how was your dosing? immediate effect? How did you feel ? How did you realize you lost your addiction? Did you try to stop or did you just stop yourself

yes it was effective immediately. i also gave it to my cousin and he had the one of worst MJ session ever after that. lot of stress and anxiety for him. he did not continue taking it so he is still a user
i made 0 efforts to quit. it made my sessions unpleasent mentally so i just dont do it also no cravings at all. i dont even think about it anymore

Can this help me quit amphetamine too? Or just alcohol

i think you are out of luck. i am still addicted to nicotine and caffeine, both stimulants just as amphetamine. but you can maybe look it up and find studies

Can this help me quit amphetamine too? Or just alcohol

edit: apparently it works well for heroin and cocaine
